www.888options.com free information from Options Industry Council www.optionplanet.com free seminars from thinkorswim's education arm (don't have to be client) Books first, McMillan's "Options as a Strategic Investment" then, Natenburg's "Option Volatility and Pricing" ..or...

(5) strays and (2) hardship adoptions; Dogs; Odessa - border collie (I was going there the next day). Max - yellow lab (came with same name as my father - much to both's chagrin). Junior - mutt (never, never give a dog a "temporary" name). Cats; Holstein - black/white tabby...

The Snap Sheets add-on doesn't work on intraday data, regardless of subscription level.

1) Correct, not customizable. 2) Yes and No. 3) Don't know and seemed okay when I used it.

First, I would guess the free seminars and such will be going away. InvesTools is not in the business of giving away education. I imagine it was quite draining on TOS' resources as well. On the bright side, TOS merged with a educator, not a broker. This may mean TOS management will still call...

thinkorswim merging with InvesTools (announced yesterday). cause for concern?

ditto on both.

You've got the security's price effect on the option pretty well right. However, make sure you learn about implied volatility's effect on option prices. I trade equity and index options and I've seen call prices stay flat or go down while a security went up. I'd assume the same might go for...

Coach; For what it's worth... I'm able to make it through an hour of your show with no problem. I've never been able to last 15 minutes with Cramer's show. Keep spreading the word.

I think he is talking about risking 1% of his account per trade, not placing his stop 1% away. And, yea, 1% will work most of the time and is a teeny bit on the conservative side. But it really depends on the frequency of your trades and the type of system (mechanical or discretionary - still...

Yes, both from the prophet chart feed and native TOS charts. thinkorswim

IB might have a symbol limit (I seem to remember 100, but check).

FYI: Don't count on Acronis TrueImage 9 to recover from DVD. I've been round and round with Acronis technical support for over a month. They had me jump through hoop after hoop (implying it was my fault). Finally, they said "here's an update". It still didn't work. And since 30 days had...

This close to expiration you could likely take your credit spreads off for a profit, depending on when you first sold them. If you can capture 80% of the credit you've done well.

Just caught your post.. My family and I have lived in The Woodlands for going on three years. We were in Houston for the seven before that. The Woodlands is a master-planned community, about 80,000 strong right now. It covers about 27,000 acres. The median income is right around $110k per...

Just be careful you don't leverage up too far with options and/or option spreads. It's easy to get carried away and put too much money at risk when transitioning from stocks. Been there, done that, wearing the t-shirt.

If you sell puts in an IRA I believe they need to be cash-secured. There shouldn't be any funds restricted on long calls or puts, just the initial debit subtracted from account.

IB's paper trade account is pretty good. It's fairly realistic. I like to use it to either 1) play with a new strategy idea, or 2) try new things with the platform. You mention options. IB is not for the option beginner. Thinkorswim (TOS) has a papertrade ability now (I think it's fairly...
